Praat TextGrid

Multiple TextGrid files created in Praat can be imported and converted to *.eaf files. This process involves 3 steps.

  1. Choose the *.TextGrid files that will be imported for conversion to *.eaf. You can also set the encoding (default, UTF 8, UT 16).

  2. In the next dialog, you can define the settings to be used for importing:

    In this dialog, you can choose to include Praat PointTiers, if empty annotations or intervals should be skipped or not and whether or not for each converted .TextGrid file a corresponding .wav file should be added to the linked files.

  3. Lastly, you will be asked how the files should be saved and in what location.

When the operation has completed, you will be presented with a process report. The multiple *.eaf files are now ready to be used in ELAN.
